Question

Check my work for this proof? @sirm3d

Answer 1

just a minute sorry

Answer 2

take your time. =)

Answer 3

i actually cant figure this out i tried but it ends up wrong

Answer 4

reason #2 is based on statement #1. Perpendicular segments (statement #1) form right angles.

Answer 5

ok and then thers SAS

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

SAS on reason #3?

Answer 8

i was thinking for the last one

Answer 9

oh. the last part. That's SAS for sure.

Answer 10

ok but for 3

Answer 11

did you check the given?

Answer 12

you mean for statement 1 to 2?

Answer 13

nope. we're at reason #3

Answer 14

we're done with #1 and #2. reason #3 ???

Answer 15

thats what im looking for but cant find

Answer 16

it says the two segements are congruent what property is tht

Answer 17

it's not a property. chk the given, maybe it says there.

Answer 18

SD and HT are perpendicular?

Answer 19

the next one.

Answer 20

oh i cant see lol yes so it given

Answer 21

there are two given statements. (1) \(overline{SD} \bot \overline{HT}\), and (2), the congruent segments SH and ST

Answer 22

ok the answer to#3 is given

Answer 23

now, the reflexive property - that something is equal or congruent to itself. which triangle part is common to the two triangles that you wish to prove congruent?

Answer 24

segment SD?

Answer 25

right. \(\overline{SD} \cong \overline{SD}\)

Answer 26

ok so the total answers are
2) perpendicular segments form right angles
3) given
4) SD = SD
5) SAS postulate
??

Answer 27

i don't think the angle is "in between" the two sides.

Answer 28

yeah its just side side side

Answer 29

ish

Answer 30

SSA?

Answer 31

is SSA even one

Answer 32

but there's the right angle. there's no SSA theorem or postulate, but there's HL triangle theorem

Answer 33

oh yeah i didnt see that when i said SAS the first time

Answer 34

uhm, hypotenuse-leg congruence for right triangles. do you have it in you list of theorems and postulates for triangle congruence?

Answer 35

yeah

Answer 36

the parts of the right triangle are the hypotenuse (opposite 90 degree angle) and one leg.

Answer 37

yeah and the HL

Answer 38

says that one leg and the hypoteuse are equal

Answer 39

hypotenuse*

Answer 40

so HL goes into reason #5

Answer 41

yep :) thanks so much for helping me!

Answer 42

yw. ^^
